My shows, let me pimp them to you...

[graculus]

I try my best not to get sucked into stuff, and indeed my golden rule is usually that if I can't make it through the pilot episode then I'm pretty safe. However, there are a few shows that I'm borderline obsessive about and in relation to which that series of tubes known as the Interweb helps me sustain my habit.

These are the current ones:

ReGenesis - is it my imagination, or is David getting way less 'action' this season? Also, Bob angst! Eeee!
Boston Legal - Alan/Denny is love!
New Amsterdam - I think I am mesmerised by Nikolaj Whatsisname's oh-so-sharp-and-pointy nose, which helps me overlook the lack of chemistry between him and 'the one'
Eli Stone - I can't help myself, it's just so dumb and yet I am compelled
Dirt - I love Ian Hart. 'Nuff said.
30 Rock - never thought I'd like Alec Baldwin in something, but...

Stuff I'm desperately waiting for the new season (or, in the case of some channels, stupid second half-season) of:

Life - unexpectedly at the top of the list, after I got smitten last season
Psych - Shawn/Gus is love!
Burn Notice - even though I want to force-feed Gabrielle Anwar with the pies Bruce Campbell needs to stop eating
Blood Ties - shiny!
The Closer - another unexpected addition
Entourage - more shiny!
Dexter - no idea where a third season is going to go....
Heroes - hope they can pull it back together after the shambles they made of most of season 2

There's probably other stuff out there I'm obsessive over as well, but these are the main contenders at the moment... I'm still dling Numb3rs in the hope that one day I will summon up the enthusiasm to catch up with the 6 or so season 4 eps I'm behind on, but who knows when that might happen?

I just started watching New Amsterdam, and I think I like it.

I also really liked Life and can't wait for new episodes. I'm less sure about Heroes, though.

Sometimes I think I should start watching Boston Legal again, but I've missed so many episodes. I guess it wouldn't really matter with this show.

I've only heard of a couple of the other shows, but have never seen them. 30 Rock sounds interesting, though. Oh, I think I just recently created a season pass (to record any and all episodes) for Burn Notice. It was on my Tivo Suggestions list. I have no clue what it's about or who Bruce Campbell is. *g* It's nice to see it's on your list, though. Maybe it will end up being something I like.

For some reason your "shiny" recs seem the most intriguing to me. *g*

I wasn't convinced initially where 30 Rock was concerned, after all haven't we had shows set in television stations before? But this one is quite acute at sporking various cultural trends as well, and Alec Baldwin was unexpectedly funny, in a very dry way.

I have no clue what it's about or who Bruce Campbell is. *g*

What fannish rock have you been living under to say such things about the Bruce? *falls over*

For some reason your "shiny" recs seem the most intriguing to me.

Sometimes all you need is some shininess and nothing more. In other words, shows packed full of cute guys that require little intellectual engagement. :)
